Daredevil walks 210 feet between cliffs for slackline record

SQUAMISH, British Columbia, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A daredevil British rope walker walked across 210 feet of slackline suspended between a pair of Canadian cliffs to beat the world record.

Spencer Seabrooke, whose feat was recorded on video and posted to YouTube by videographer Zachary Moxley, walked from one cliff to another on 210 feet of slackline in Squamish, British Columbia, without a "leash" or other safety equipment to beat the free soloing record of 180 feet, set in 2011 by Andy Lewis.

The video of the Aug. 2 stunt shows Seabrooke repeatedly lose his footing and catch the line with his arms to avoid falling to his death.

Moxley said the feat was difficult to watch.

"This had to have been one of the most gut wrenching things I've experienced in my whole life, between operating the drone and watching him walk 290 meters [951 feet] above the earths floor, it was definitely something I have never experienced," Moxley wrote in the video's description.
